The person who asked the question was Li Shimin's cousin, Li Xiaogong's clan in Longxi, who was ranked second among the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.

After Jinyang raised the army, Li Xiaogong was called by Li Yuan to serve for him. Now there are not many people available, so he was sent here.

At the moment, opposite him is Ashina Hudagu, a relative messenger sent by the Khan of Shekui.

Previously, Li Shimin saw that the East Turks were destroyed and the West Turks next to them were also much stronger, so he was moved to form an alliance with them.

It's just that the Khan Shekui was shocked by Yang Yu's methods and did not dare to rashly send troops to the south.

So Li Shimin looked for another way, instigating Shekui Khan to ask Da Sui for a marriage, and wanted to take the opportunity to find an opportunity to incite him to send troops.

"General Li, Emperor Sui did not reply to me this time."

"Everything will have to wait until tomorrow's meeting before there will be results."

Hu Dagu was a little disappointed and said.

"The Khan of Shekui has high hopes for this matter. As a messenger, you should show your momentum."

Li Xiaogong urged him on the side, but he pretended to be very casual.

"But... what if it angers Emperor Sui?"

A fright flashed across Hu Dagu's eyes.

Which small country near the Great Sui Dynasty is not afraid of its methods?

The Eastern Turks were only stronger or weaker than the Western Turks, but they were still destroyed. Millions of subjects were sent to the Great Sui to be enslaved!

Because of this, as a messenger this time, he did not dare to be arrogant at all.

Of course, he didn't know the contents of Sheku Khan's letter either.

"You can relax. Emperor Sui will not treat you like that."

"I heard that he had planned to get married, and he treated Luo Khan in that muddy place extremely favorably."

Seeing Hu Dagu hesitated, Li Xiaogong added another fire.

"Let's wait for the result of the morning meeting tomorrow."

Hu Dagu's mind was filled with the tragic situation of the Eastern Turkic King City, and he said with fear after a while.

Hearing this, Li Xiaogong frowned, but he didn't say anything.

It conveyed Li Shimin's meaning to Hu Dagu and left.

However, when Li Xiaogong walked to the door, he paused for a moment, and the corner of his eyes swept towards Hu Dagu, revealing a hint of murder.

……

Qin Wangfu.

"Huh? Li Shimin's people? Mixed with the people of Shakui Khan?"

Yang Yu just came back, but heard the black ice platform undercover report on Li Xiaogong and Hu Dagu's contact.

You must know that after another expansion of the Black Ice Terrace, the undercover agents have spread all over the capital, and any trouble can not escape their surveillance.

Therefore, Li Xiaogong had just entered the city when he was targeted by spies lurking in the dark.

"Have you ever spied on what they're plotting?"

Yang Yu frowned tightly.

Previously, the Taiyuan Li family had colluded with the Eastern Turkic Shibi Khan to attack Youzhou.

Could it be that Li Shimin is going to repeat his old tricks this time?

Damn it!

Then Li Jiancheng died tragically at the hands of Shibi Khan, and he even led the wolf into the room!

wrong.

Right now, the Western Turks are asking for a marriage, and I am afraid that there is also a problem with this marriage.

"My lord, do you want your subordinates to lead someone to arrest them?"

Sima Shan on the side stepped forward.

The residences of those two people have been stared to death for a long time, as long as the Iron Eagle Guard is dispatched, they can be captured immediately.

"No! It's good to monitor his actions closely, and don't panic for the time being."

After pondering for a while, Yang Yu raised his hand and said.

It has a faint feeling that there will be another war soon.

It seems that the Armor Department and the Bow and Crossbow Department have to step up their preparations.

If the battle is reborn, the black armored iron cavalry and the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow are in place, and there is nothing to be afraid of. .

Chapter 235

The next day, Daxing Palace.

"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

When Baiguan saw Emperor Sui striding in, he immediately got up and saluted him.

"Aiqing, be flat!"

Emperor Sui sat firmly on the dragon chair, and then made a slight gesture to let everyone take their seats.

All officials knew that today's early court was to deal with the Western Turkic request for a marriage, so a minister immediately came forward to report.

Eunuch Li, the great eunuch of the Sui Dynasty, gave a wink, and he immediately understood.

"Xuanxi~The Turkic messenger has an audience—"

Eunuch Li shouted loudly.

As soon as the words fell, the eunuch outside the hall repeated it again, and then, Hu Dagu strode forward - stepped forward.

"Envoy Hudagu, see Your Majesty!"

Hudagu walked quickly to the Baiguan, and made a Turkic salute towards the Sui Emperor.

"Well, get up."

When Emperor Sui heard the words, his voice was a little indifferent, and he had more power than usual when he went to court.

Hu Dagu stood up straight, but suddenly found that in the entire hall, all the civil and military officials were sitting, but it was the only one standing.

You must know that the etiquette of the last dynasty in the Great Sui Dynasty did not emphasize the rank of ministers as much as later generations. Ministers of civil and military affairs sat in the court.

Right now, even the petty officials at the bottom of the queue have seats.

Hudagu stood in front, looking a little out of the ordinary.

And Emperor Sui was naturally aware of this situation, so he didn't give him a seat, and let him stand in the hall directly.

"Hudagu, are you the one who surrendered to the Great Sui Dynasty on behalf of the Western Turks?"

Emperor Sui glanced at him, not angry and arrogant.

It did not mention the matter of marriage, but asked about other things.

That attitude directly distinguishes the status between the two.

A vassal state is only worthy of submission to the Great Sui Dynasty!

"This……"

When Hu Dagu heard the words, he didn't know how to reply for a while.

Did you come to surrender?

If he answered 'yes', he would have been executed by the angry Sheku Khan after returning to the Western Turkic court.

Although the Western Turks did surrender to the Great Sui for a period of time in the past, but after the Shekui Khan took over the Western Turks, he subdued some neighboring small countries and tribes. How can you remember the vassal state and the suzerain state under the expansion of strength?

But what if the answer is no?

He couldn't guess what Emperor Sui was thinking at all. If he didn't disobey Emperor Sui's intentions, the situation would only get worse.

"Your Majesty, the envoy came here at the will of the Great Khan and asked the Great Sui for a marriage."

Kudaggu pondered for a moment, then said daringly, gritted his teeth and ignored the previous question.

"is it?"

Emperor Sui's eyes stayed on Hu Dagu's face, and he didn't speak for a long time, and his power as a superior was undoubtedly revealed at this time.

That Hu Dagu didn't dare to look at him, he lowered his head, his body was also bowed, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans leaked faintly on his forehead, as if he was overwhelmed.

In the hall, not a single official spoke, and even the civil servants who were able to speak well on weekdays were aware of Emperor Sui's emotions at this moment and did not dare to speak rashly, and needles could be heard everywhere.

"And go back and tell it."

"This is not allowed."

I don't know how long it took, Emperor Sui suddenly put away his momentum, although his voice was not loud, but it was like an unquestionable truth.

Not to communicate with you, nor to negotiate with you, but to inform you.

No beating around the bush and no tirade.

Only two words.

Not allowed!

"The envoy retire..."

When Hudagu heard the words, as if he had been granted amnesty, he immediately wanted to retire.

The piles of rhetoric that he had prepared earlier were all thrown into the back of his mind at this moment.

It just wants to leave this hall as soon as possible, as for other things, I will talk about it later.

Emperor Sui did not stop him either, waving his hand to let him leave.
